O Caderno de Apoio ao Professor pretende assumir-se como uma ferramenta indispensável no dia-a-dia de pro-
gramação e concretização das aulas de língua inglesa. Deste modo, optou-se por dividir este documento em partes
distintas:
Tendo em conta a complexidade de todo o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, esperamos que o professor
encontre neste Caderno de Apoio um verdadeiro suporte para a sua prática lectiva.
As autoras
1. Manual
O Profile é composto por cinco Files (unidades) incidentes sobre temáticas específicas – férias e regresso às
aulas; tempos livres e novas tecnologias; hábitos alimentares; moda e mass media. O primeiro File – Reloading File
– tal como o próprio nome indica, visa (re)ambientar o aluno no processo de aprendizagem da língua inglesa, servin-
do, igualmente, para fazer o diagnóstico da turma nos diversos domínios. Nesta medida, optou-se por lhe dar a
designação de 0.
Cada File, por sua vez, encontra-se organizado por competências.
Comprehension File
Integra uma multiplicidade de tipologias de textos autênticos, provenientes de fontes diversificadas e de diferen-
tes universos de expressão inglesa, com temáticas actuais, adequadas ao Programa, aos interesses dos vários tipos
de alunos e ao seu nível etário.
Nesta medida, esta abordagem pedagógica integra sempre três momentos:
• Preparação, isto é, actividades de pre-reading ou pre-listening, que permitem aos alunos mobilizar as compe-
tências e conhecimentos prévios ao nível cognitivo, linguístico, discursivo e sociocultural, pertinentes para a
tarefa a realizar.
• Desenvolvimento, isto é, actividades de reading ou listening, que permitem a utilização contextualizada das
competências e dos conhecimentos activados previamente.
• Avaliação, isto é, actividades de post-reading ou post-listening, que permitem a regulação dos processos de
interpretação de texto.
Interaction File
A especificidade da competência de interacção foi, durante muito tempo, ignorada no contexto do ensino/apren-
dizagem da Língua Estrangeira. Interagir verbalmente com o outro pressupõe conhecer e respeitar regras básicas de
comunicação, por vezes comuns às da língua materna, mas condicionadas pela especificidade das características dis-
cursivas, bem como pelas convenções socioculturais da língua em estudo. Neste âmbito, esta competência assume
particular relevo, dado que o discurso que se produz em interacção decorre de uma co-construção de parceiros em
comunicação, cujo sucesso depende da sua capacidade de cooperação, assente em valores como partilha e negocia-
ção (conversas, entrevistas, role plays, cartas, postais, e-mails, bilhetes, formulários, entre outros).
Production File
O Profile introduz as actividades de escrita e de fala de forma gradual e contextualizada, procurando que o aluno
desenvolva a competência de produzir (escrever/falar) correcta e adequadamente, em paralelo com a competência de
compreender (ouvir/ver/ler). Promove, desta forma, a par de uma progressão integrada das competências, uma pedago-
gia da escrita e da fala, através da qual o aluno desenvolverá estratégias pessoais de comunicação que lhes permitirão
produzir textos adequados. As actividades de revisão e avaliação são, assim, essenciais para o desenvolvimento desta
Ability to Learn
1. Language Study File
Esta rubrica tem como finalidade levar o aprendente a tomar consciência de que a língua é um conjunto estrutu-
rado com vários planos interdependentes: intenções de comunicação, marcas morfológicas e sintácticas e léxico,
entre outros, pelo que o Language Study File integra:
• A gramática, orientada para auxiliar o aluno a comunicar em inglês, quer oralmente, quer por escrito, sendo
desenvolvida em diversas etapas:
a) Etapa de observação e sensibilização, em que o aluno toma contacto com a estrutura em contexto.
b) Etapa de treino e formulação de regras provisórias, em que o aluno é levado a aperceber-se, através de
exercícios sistemáticos, dos usos da estrutura em análise.
c) Etapa de estruturação, em que, através da criação de momentos de reflexão propiciadores de hábitos de
análise do funcionamento da língua, o aluno toma consciência da regra.
d) Etapa da síntese/avaliação, em que o aluno é levado a integrar a estrutura em actividades de gramática e
de produção.
Paralelamente à aplicação da denominada pedagogia da descoberta, o Profile pretende, ainda, fomentar hábitos
de consulta de gramáticas, através de remissões constantes para o Grammar File que surge no Portfolio.
• O vocabulário, componente fundamental na aprendizagem de uma língua, na medida em que a sua aquisição
e memorização condiciona, de alguma forma, o sucesso da comunicação. Para que o aluno compreenda que as
palavras não aparecem isoladas, o Profile apresenta o vocabulário novo em núcleos contextualizados, que vão
sendo progressivamente alargados. Desta forma, recorre-se a várias técnicas para transmitir o significado das
palavras novas:
• Clarificação do significado através de imagens e de desenhos do próprio objecto.
• Sinonímia e antonímia.
• Definição simples.
• Tradução.
• As funções da linguagem, que se inserem em situações de comunicação, privilegiando-se a interacção, de
forma a desenvolver no aluno uma competência pragmática em Língua Estrangeira. A progressão na aprendiza-
gem do Inglês organiza-se, assim, no sentido de construir uma competência discursiva elementar, articulando
as funções da linguagem com os vários géneros textuais.
2. Leisure File
Trata-se de uma rubrica com uma dupla finalidade. Por um lado, pretende tornar o processo de aprendizagem da
Língua Inglesa mais motivante e, por outro, pretende, de forma lúdica, actuar em áreas consideradas importantes no
processo de ensino-aprendizagem, como por exemplo:
• A articulação dos saberes de forma autónoma.
• O reforço da atenção/concentração.
• A promoção de actividades de pesquisa, entre outras.
No final de cada unidade, surge sempre um jogo, “The Strongest Group”, que tem como objectivo levar o aluno a
reflectir sobre a sua aprendizagem e a preparar-se para os testes.
caracterizam e organizam qualquer situação de comunicação. Nesta medida, o In Britain people enjoy various indoor and outdoor activities. According to a recent
Eurostat survey, the EU statistical office, these are their most popular leisure activities:

a temática em estudo, sendo estes apresentados de forma simples e agradável,
Other popular leisure activities are listening to the radio, listening to pre-recorded

5. Self-Check File
Surge no final de cada unidade, oferecendo um conjunto de exercícios incidentes sobre Language Study que o
aluno pode realizar de forma autónoma, a fim de tomar consciência das componentes que ainda precisa de melhorar.
Neste âmbito, atribui-se uma cotação a cada questão, sendo o score final indicador da situação do aluno, em termos
de Language Study.
2. Workbook
O Workbook visa consolidar os conhecimentos dos alunos acerca da Língua Inglesa e, simultaneamente, desenvolver
a sua autonomia enquanto aprendentes.
As actividades propostas estão directamente ligadas aos cinco Files que estruturam o Manual, sendo a abordagem
preconizada dirigida para a resolução de dificuldades de aprendizagem. Por outras palavras, procura-se, através da apre-
sentação de diversos Improving Files, responder a problemas de aprendizagem, tanto ao nível do saber, como do saber-
-fazer comunicativo e estratégico.
Desta forma, no final de cada tarefa e unidade, o aluno é levado a reflectir, no Portfolio, sobre as suas dificuldades,
optando pelo Improving File do Workbook condizente. As actividades, por sua vez, encontram-se estruturadas em dois
níveis de dificuldade. Esta gestão favorece práticas de pedagogia diferenciada e assenta na negociação das tarefas,
estando a orientação do professor subordinada às necessidades efectivas dos alunos, ajudando-os a seleccionar, entre os
diversos Improving Files, o que melhor se lhe adequa para a consolidação das aprendizagens.

7. DVD
Composto por três episódios da série That’s Me e dois da série Eat it, estes cinco episódios descrevem o dia-a-
-dia de três jovens adolescentes que vivem em três regiões diferentes do Reino Unido: o Graham (que habita na Escó-
cia), a Naela (que habita em Bristol, na Inglaterra) e o Róisin (que habita na Irlanda).
Com durações entre os 3 e os 10 minutos, estes episódios vão ao encontro dos temas do Programa, constituindo-
-se como uma excelente ferramenta no ensino da língua inglesa. Poderão ser acompanhados pelas sugestões de
exploração que constam neste Caderno de Apoio ao Professor.
8. Transparências
O projecto inclui dez transparências, como material complementar, que permitirá abordagens temáticas mais
diversificadas e motivantes. As sugestões de exploração deste material também se encontram neste Caderno de
Apoio ao Professor.

* A abordagem do Present Perfect adoptada neste projecto baseia-se em estudos linguísticos recentes sobre o assunto. Veja-se, por
exemplo, Linguística Contrastiva. O Ensino da Língua Inglesa. Lisboa, Universidade Católica Editora, 2006, de Isabel Casanova e o artigo
"The Present Perfect. A Perfect Approach", Revista da Faculdade de Letras, 15-5.a Série, Lisboa, 1993, pp.155-164, de Isabel Casanova,
Eduarda Melo Cabrita, Isabel Mealha, Jean McMahon Ramos, Maria Luísa Falcão e Stephen Fordham.
Esta secção apresenta sugestões metodológicas por unidade, para além das já indicadas no Manual do Professor.
Tal como o próprio nome indica, esta unidade tem como objectivo, por um lado, activar os conhecimentos dos
alunos relativamente às férias, e por outro, encaminhar os alunos no uso autónomo do Manual, mais concretamente
das rubricas que são constantes ao longo das cinco unidades.
Neste sentido, a unidade encontra-se dividida em duas partes distintas. Uma primeira parte, que incide sobre
aspectos sócio-culturais das férias de Verão, e uma segunda sobre o regresso às aulas, onde se aborda as expectati-
vas e a temática das school resolutions. Estas duas partes coincidem com duas tarefas distintas – narração de umas
férias de Verão e uma carta dirigida aos próprios alunos (Dear Me), a integrar no Portfolio – para as quais o aluno vai
sendo progressivamente preparado, através do desenvolvimento de uma série de actividades linguísticas assentes
nas quatro competências específicas da língua.
A actividade das páginas 11 e 12 pretende activar e alargar o vocabulário dos alunos relativamente à temática
férias, nomeadamente no que diz respeito aos diferentes tipos de férias. Esta elicitação de conhecimentos pode ser
acompanhada pela exploração da transparência correspondente. Este alargamento vocabular em torno dos diferentes
tipos de férias tornar-se-ia mais interessante, se partisse de um diálogo acerca de uma experiência recente dos pró-
prios alunos.
Na actividade B, espera-se que os alunos reflictam acerca de um determinado perfil e identifiquem qual o tipo de
férias correspondente. Para completação da actividade, o professor poderá solicitar o preenchimento de uma tabela:
Esta unidade tem como objectivo, por um lado, activar os conhecimentos dos alunos relativamente às suas activi-
dades de tempos livres e, por outro, relativamente à sua relação com as novas tecnologias.
Neste âmbito, para além do esquema síntese da unidade que remete para os temas, tarefas, conteúdos e pro-
jectos a desenvolver ao longo da unidade, a actividade da página 31 introduz a temática das leisure activities, levan-
do o aluno a activar, ainda que de forma receptiva (reconhecimento) uma série de actividades de tempos livres
contextualizadas num calendário. A componente lúdica da actividade, que se processa através da resolução de ana-
gramas, deve ser explorada, de forma a incentivar a assimilação do vocabulário, que, de algum modo, é facilitada
pela sistematização do vocabuláro segundo duas categorias (act. B), indoor activities / outdoor activities.
Também nesta unidade os alunos deverão ficar preparados para resolver duas grandes tarefas:
• Numa primeira parte, os alunos são levados a elaborar uma entrevista a um modelo.
• Numa segunda parte, os alunos são levados a elaborar um artigo de opinião acerca de tatuagens em Portugal.
A página introdutória serve para verificar quais os conhecimentos de vocabulário sobre esta temática que os alu-
nos já possuem. Caso estes sejam muito reduzidos, o professor deve sugerir que as actividades sejam resolvidas com
a ajuda de um dicionário e, posteriormente, relembrar os alunos que devem completar o Vocabulary File da unidade.
Poderá ser sugerido o trabalho de pares.

GRAHAM IN INVERNESS
GRAHAM (off): Inverness is the most northerly city in the British Isles. It lies in the heart of the Highlands of Scotland amidst some of the
most beautiful and dramatic scenery in Britain. There are towering mountains and deep glens. Inverness is at the mouth of the river Ness.
I’m sure you’ve all heard of the monster Nessie, who lives up the river in the loch. The city is a great place to live. It has one of the lowest
crime rates in Britain. This could be because the people are all really friendly and kind to each other. This may also be the reason that
Inverness is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. There are many thousands of people here and many more come every year.
GRAHAM: Hi, there! I’m Graham. Do you like my uniform? I have to wear it, because I’m a prefect. This means that I’ve got extra
responsibilities and we have to look after the little children. Well, I’m on my way home now. I’ve just finished my higher exam for
chemistry. I’m absolutely knackered, because it lasted about three hours. And… I guess I’ll see you at home!
GRAHAM: Well, it’s nice to get home and out of my school uniform. Not that it bothers me. It’s just that I feel more comfortable in my
normal clothes.
GRAHAM: …and she’s really still the baby in the family, because of all five of us she’s the smallest. And right here we’ve got my mum,
Fiona…
MUM: Hi!
GRAHAM: …and people say we look like each other, but I’ll let you decide that for yourselves. And this is my dad, David…
DAD: Hello!
GRAHAM: …and he’s losing his hair even faster than usual at the moment, because in a couple of weeks he’s going to have to teach me
how to drive. And he doesn’t seem too happy about the idea of getting in a car with me. And last but not least is Catherine…
CATHERINE: Hi!
GRAHAM: … who’s 12 years old, and she’s the troublemaker of the family at the minute. And…she’s always got a cheeky smile on her
face.
MUM: With five of us in the family life is really very busy. Tonight everybody is here helping me in the kitchen prepare the meal. We
usually have a rule that if you help to prepare the meal, you don’t have to help clear up. Graham likes to help prepare the meal because
NAELA IN BRISTOL
NAELA (off): This is Bristol. It’s a fairly large and busy city… on the Bristol Channel, not far from Wales. The suspension bridge is famous
and so is the old cathedral. We live in a mixed area not far from the city centre. I like my area very much and I’ve lived here for nearly ten
years now, and the people here are so nice and friendly.
NAELA: Hello! I’m Naela and I’m here today at the Climbing Centre near to where I live. This used to be a church but eleven years ago it
was sold and converted into the Climbing Centre. Today it has over 40 000 members, and people from just about everywhere come here to
climb. I’m a beginner but I’m here today to practise my climbing.
INSTRUCTOR: Right. Go up!
NAELA: No, I can’t go any further up.
INSTRUCTOR: Yeah! Hold on…
NAELA: No, I can’t.
INSTRUCTOR: That’s it! You can! Stand up… Go off… Now you climb down. See? Just keep leaning back… And there you go… Tough?
NAELA: Horrible!
INSTRUCTOR: See how much easier that was?
NAELA (off): We are a family of four: my mum, my two sisters and myself. My mum’s called Anna and is very caring. My sister Lanie is an
angel and so is my little sister Daisy. We get along very well and love each other very much. You might wonder about our names, Naela
and Lanie. They’re very unusual. They’re actually made up from my parents’ names, Anna and Larrie.
NAELA: How small were they when you first saw them?
NAELA: And…
MUM: What have you got?
NAELA: As you can see everything’s quite pink… or pinky-purple. These are the kind of colours I want on my walls, like lilac, pinky kind of
colours. And then the darker purple and darker lilac colours is for the design on top.
MUM: But are you going to have… Are you going to have each wall a different colour?
NAELA: Yeah, so that this…like back wall, where the head…where the bed goes would be lilac.
MUM: Right.
RÓISÍN IN CARNA
RÓISÍN: Fáilte go Conamara = Welcome to Connemara.
RÓISÍN (off): We’re in the west of Ireland. Connemara is a beautiful area with its vast, unspoiled wilderness, its shores washed by the
waves rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean. There are lovely lakes, streams and rocky hills.
RÓISÍN: Hi! I’m Róisín and I live here in Carna. Come inside! I’ll introduce you to my family. Is that…? I think… I don’t believe this! My

RÓISÍN’S BLT
-Hello! Now I’m going to make BLT; bacon, lettuce, tomato, on toast.
I make that sometimes after school, because it is easy to make and fast.
-So now I have to grab a few things from the fridge.
-The ingredients you need are: lettuce, tomatoes, some bread, bacon, cheese and of course some mayonnaise.
-Now we have to turn on the grill. We turn it to about 250.
-Now we’ll toast the bread.
- OK, we’ll cut up some lettuce. OK, that should be enough.
-Then you’ll cut up your tomato. You cut it in four slices. OK
-And then you need to grate some cheese.
-Oh, the toast is ready!
-You see, nice and brown.
-Then you put some mayonnaise on it. OK. That’s the mayonnaise. Spread it like this, and over here.
-Then you just get your lettuce. You put the lettuce on first, just put it nice, just a bit. And then you just put the tomatoes on, four, that’s one
in every corner.
Beep, beep
-Oh, the bacon should be ready now!
-OK, you just get the bacon and you place it on top. One here and one here.
-Now, there’s just one more thing left for me to do. Now, we’ll just sprinkle some cheese on the top. I put lots of cheese, just like this. It’s
very messy.
-You just take this slice and you put it back under the grill again.
-You just leave it there for another few minutes and let the cheese melt.
-I just take this with me now because I think it’s ready.
-It is. Just put this on top and you bite into it.
-Uh, hot! It is really hot!
Transparência 1 – Holidays
Esta transparência enquadra-se na exploração temática da unidade 0, Holidays, e poderá ser utili-

Para além da identificação dos diversos equipamentos tecnológicos, o professor pode organizar
um brainstorming em que solicita aos alunos que indiquem adjectivos e/ou verbos que associam
às diversas tecnologias representadas nas imagens. Posteriormente, poderão ainda escrever uma
frase para cada imagem utilizando o vocabulário sistematizado.
Com a apresentação desta transparência, o professor poderá relembrar os nomes das diversas
lojas e colocar aos alunos a questão – What can you buy here? – para verificar a aquisição de
vocabulário relacionado com comidas, bebidas e até outros produtos.

sugestões e comparar com a rádio portuguesa.
Esta transparência sobre a temática das festividades poderá ser apresentada aos alunos como
warming-up às celebrações apresentadas no Manual, relembrando assim os alunos de outras
datas festivas que não constam no mesmo ou então, o professor poderá optar por explorá-la a pro-
pósito de uma outra celebração, em relação à qual não consta nenhum material no Manual, mas
que em virtude do calendário lectivo, lhe dará jeito abordar.
Poderá, ainda ser feita a divisão entre celebrações relacionadas com a cultura americana e cele-
brações relacionadas com a cultura britânica.

Thanksgiving Day
Song: “Thanksgiving” by Sara Jordan
I – Comprehension: Reading
A. Read Marguerita’s letter to her Irish pen friend, Nora.
Dear Nora,
I loved your postcard from the Bahamas. Sorry, I didn’t write sooner but I was away on
my summer holiday when it arrived. Then I had to get ready to go back to school, so I didn’t
have much time to write to all my friends, but I’m going to do it now.
My summer holiday was terrific. In July I went to Portugal with my family. My uncle lives in
the Algarve and we also have a flat there. My cousins and I are about the same age, so we
always have a great time together. Some friends of ours invited us to go on a boat trip to
the caves along the coast and I found it really amazing.
Then I spent three weeks in an international school at Bradfield in England to improve my
English. I became much more confident and I made lots of friends from different parts of the
world. It may seem a bit boring because we had classes but I didn’t find it boring at all.
Classes started at 9.00 and finished at 12.30 and we enjoyed ourselves a lot because we
learned things in a funny way. We made videos and wrote magazine articles among other
things. After lunch we had drama, arts and crafts, treasure hunt or we went for a short
walk. Later we played sports like tennis, baseball, volleyball or football. Sometimes we went
swimming too. In the evening we could watch films, organise a karaoke or take part in one of
the many special nights they prepared for us. At the weekend we always had a barbecue
when the weather was nice (unfortunately it was a bit rainy on the last week) and on
Saturday night we all went to the discos. Every Friday we went in a trip to a famous British
city and I took the chance to buy lots of souvenirs and some nice clothes too. Britain has
wonderful scenery and I was really impressed with London, Oxford and Cambridge. I wish I
could study at one of those universities some day.
Maybe next year I will go to an international school in Ireland. I’ve already talked to my
parents about that and they say they will see what they can do. Perhaps we could meet
then. I will tell you about it later. Please write and tell me more about yourself. How is the
new school year going?
Love from,

Among other things, there has been significant growth over the past four years in the number of teens who
play games on the Internet, get news, shop online and get health information. Not only has the number of users
increased, but also the variety of technologies that teens use to support their communication, research, and
entertainment desires has grown. These technologies consist of a variety of methods and channels by which
10 young people can communicate with one another as well as with their parents and other authorities.
To them, e-mail is increasingly seen as a tool for communicating with “adults” such as teachers, institutions
like schools, and as a way of giving detailed information to large groups. IM (Instant Message), however, is used
for everyday conversations with multiple friends. It is easier and it is also used as a place of personal expression.
Young people are leading the transition to a fully wired and mobile nation with all its advantages and

I – Comprehension: Reading
A. Read the texts carefully.
Young people know how to eat wisely, and many do, though it’s hard to resist temptations.
A walk through the food court of any shopping mall confirms the worst reports about teens’ eating habits: kids
share cartons of French fries, bite into cheeseburgers, eat slices of pizza and drink jumbo cups of soda.
Stop and talk to teenagers, though, and many say that they eat junk food mainly when they’re out of their
parents’ sight, especially when they’re hanging out with friends. They have learned what it means to eat healthily, 5
they say, even though they often don’t choose to do so. Let’s read what they say.
I usually skip breakfast and have chips, cookies, candy and soda, bought from school vending
machines, for lunch. I often go to a carryout restaurant after school for French fries, fried rice
and egg rolls. Dinner at home tends to be much healthier, including baked chicken and rice.
I know my mom would prefer that I eat healthier meals. But I don’t have time to eat healthy and 10
junk food is often the quickest way to satisfy my hunger when I’m on the go and that’s common
among busy teenagers.
Porscha Hall
I am a big fresh-fruit eater, which is unusual, I admit, for a 15-year-old.

Designer labels
Hi! My name is Jonathan Dean. I’m 14 and I’m in the 8th grade. Every day, I walk through my school, Cross
Keys, in Atlanta, Georgia, passing the endless groups and gangs that surround us. A band of Goths, a collection of
Townies, a group of Rockers. We are all labelled – Townie, Goth, Skater, Geek or a Rocker – and it happens as
soon as we leave kindergarten or primary school. We are thrown into the brutal, strange, worrying world of high
5 school and fashion.
Our tastes develop, interests change and we want to show we are almost grown ups. Sometimes even friends
grow apart and there are new responsibilities, new ways of “classifying people”, a sector for every type of person
according to the way they dress and the tastes they have.
Although I feel this is a bad thing, I can’t escape it. There are some classmates of mine who are proud of
10 belonging to a group. Proud to be ‘different’ they say but is it really so?
Why do we allow ourselves to be driven into a band of similar people or to be victims of fashion? The main
reason I find is based on our musical interests that influence what we wear. Rock, Punk, Dance, R&B, Metal. Just
a few of the music types that boom from our stereos, PCs and Mp3s….These, I believe, control and dominate our
style, our taste…even our way of life.
15 Another thing is the fear of being ridiculed for liking something that to others is not ‘cool’ or ‘right’.
There are some who want to be their own person and refuse to belong to these groups. “I don’t want to be a
sheep, I want to be a new sort of person. I’ll do my own thing and live my own life” they say. They try not to be
part of all the mad, crazy world of designer labels. Maybe someday I’ll have the courage to do the same.
C. Are the statements true (T) or false (F)? Correct the false statements.
1. Jonathan is worried about being labelled. _____________________________________
